Hayat Al-Ghamdi, 5/1/09
Zamil, a 55-year-old Saudi, has turned his hobby of hunting birds into a profession of executing criminals by gunfire. Being an executioner has been a wish of his for a long time. Then eight years ago he had the opportunity to express his professional aspiration to Hussain bin Zalfah, the governor of Bisha, about 115 km east of Baha, in the Asir province. The governor agreed to help him, and Zamil was on his way. He moved from nearby Asabt Al-Alaya, where he was working as a government employee, and fulfilled his lifelong dream.
